Bukovina, Romania‐Ukraine ‘Land of the Beech Trees’ from the Slavonic
buk ‘beech tree’. A principality of Moldavia in the 14th century, it only acquired its own name and identity in 1775. Two years later it was ceded by the Ottoman Turks to Austria which made it a duchy in 1849 and a crown land. It was incorporated into Romania in 1918–40 after the collapse of the Austro‐Hungarian Empire and again, as the German Army invaded the Soviet Union, in 1941–4. After the Second World War the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic was awarded the northern part and Romania the southern.
